@Sherlock9 Huh, looks like no one answered your question. C9, short for Cloud 9, is an online IDE for a bunch of languages, and you can collaborate with other people on the same stuff. Kinda like Google Docs for code.
If there is a code golf competition are you allowed to submit a submission that is clearly not going to win? I.E thousands of bytes? I know they do say that solutions must be serious competing entries, but for the sake of a complete answer as well as personal interest are such answers permitted. ...

This site is rapidly building up a huge dataset of code snippets, so let's do something with it!
Here's a data file. It contains 9,059 unique language+snippet pairs for 117 languages, all taken from this site. The format is tab-separated (language-TAB-snippet), with all newlines in...
The challenge: To read an input of arbitrary length and produce the ROT13 of the input. All characters besides A-Z should be copied to the output verbatim, and case should be preserved if possible.
Any language that can read and write standard streams is fair game.
What is the current community opinion on this action. While certainly a downvoted is a very clear way of leaving direct feedback. I feel that downvoting a question that is already on hold is almost like "kicking someone while they are down". My question is, should we downvote such questions or sh...
Golfed Golfer
Write a golfed program, in a language of your choice, that can golf down programs in that same language.
For example, in JS, if passed this code:
function say() {
console.log("Hello World!");
}
it should return something like this:
say=()=>console.log("Hello World!")

@DestructibleWatermelon Like zyabin said, it depends on the specific game/challenge. My Spacewar! KotH was 1v1, and the Battlebots KotH was all submissions at once, although separated into two teams.
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 For the QFTASM interpreter, there's the direct-write-to-RAM for input, and RAM display for "output". In circuitry, we'll have some specialized components for those. Exact operation/implementation TBD.
@Downgoat Not quite. We don't yet have a circuit simulator (both Conor and Mego started working on simulators, then got sick and couldn't/didn't continue). Once we do, then the CPU can be built. We already have circuit designs for RAM, ROM, and ALU operations.
The circuit simulator is our last major obstacle to implementing Tetris in GoL. PhiNotPi wrote a compiler so we can write programs in a higher-level language (Cogol) that gets compiled to QFTASM.
@Downgoat All our components fit into rectangular tiles, so we just have to simulate input and output for each tile, including the proper delay, and simulate the connections between tiles.
@Downgoat Haha. :P Really though, it's the last missing link in the abstraction chain. GoL -> VarLife (using OTCA metapixels) -> wires and circuit components -> CPU/RAM/ROM -> QFTASM -> Cogol -> Tetris.
@MatthewRoh Like, each time you lift a weight in a set is a rep. 250 reps in 2 days is reasonable if you're lifting a 1-pound weight or something, but 100 pounds per rep? No way.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Yeah, VarLife is a general simulation for Life-like rules, but the circuit simulator is specifically for circuits built with four specific Life-like rules.
I am looking for a mod to take a look at a question of mine which has been put on hold. I feel like it has been made significantly clearer by recent edits and would make a good fit for this sight. We have 4 reopen votes I am just looking for a fifth.
The reason why I was looking for a moderator, was that s/he could help me edit the question to a point where it is more suitable, if the question needed more work
Are you tired of languages with built in quining techniques?
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to add a built-in quine feature to the language of your choice.
Task
Given some programming language X, you should define
A language X′ that is a subset of X.
A quine command strin...
@RohanJhunjhunwala that's a good question :P between me and some friends goats are part of an inside joke and I guess I just paired it with "down" one day. I'm not sure exactly how I came up with it
your question seems on topic, but I can't say how well received it will be. A lot of people here don't quite like quines anymore, as they tend to be overused. Also, lots of "extend your language" type challenges are not well received, generally because they tend to be broad
For example, I have made a 1.98k byte Hello, World program in JavaScript:
// call with node --use_strict hello_world.js
// logs "Hello, World!" to the console

@RohanJhunjhunwala idk how you learn best, but first step is to understand and be very familiar regular expressions. Then just read some basic articles on common terminology used in the formal grammar world, read the wikipedia page and you should be proficient
Introduction
If you square the Nth triangular number, the result is the sum of the first N cubes. This is part of Nicomachus's Theorum.
Challenge
Write a function that will draw any given square, colorized according to which cube and slice of the cube they are.
Each gnomon in the output must ...
